To all
It’s a bit ridiculous
Tell someone, have a great day!!
That’s insensitive! Maybe they are about to go for a chemo treatment and you don’t know about it
Wish them nachas from their children? They have one child off the derech, or a child who died, so now you caused them pain.
Ask for a favor? They would need to ask their husband or wife who doesn’t like to do it, now you made שלום בית problem
Every action you do can potentially cause someone grief quite easily.
Turns out New Yorkers, who for so long have been on the receiving end of excoriation for ignoring everyone, are actually the most sensitive people around!!!!
Who knew!!
